Hi,

I use a system with RELENG_6 (mergemaster is ok). And on startup, I
can see some warnings like this:
ifconfig:
interface rl0 does not exist

this warning appears for all my interfaces (rl0, rl1 and ral0), I
guess I see these messages because my interfaces are renamed with
ifconfig_rl0_name="net0" for example.

/etc/pccard_ether: DEBUG: run_rc_command: evaluating pccard_ether_start().
ifconfig:
interface rl0 does not exist
/etc/rc.d/netif: DEBUG: run_rc_command: evaluating network_start().
ifconfig:
interface rl0 does not exist

extract of my /etc/rc.conf:

ifconfig_rl0_name="net0"
ifconfig_rl1_name="lan0"
ifconfig_ral0_name="wifi0"
ifconfig_net0="DHCP"
ifconfig_lan0="192.168.0.254 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_wifi0="192.168.1.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid BSDNetwork
mode 11g mediaopt hostap"

dmesg -a: http://djdomics.free.fr/FreeBSD/dmesg-a.txt

BTW, my network works as expected.

Thanks for your help.

Regards.
